road, to extend through the Fort Shaw unit of the Sun 

 River project, will commence this spring. In 1909 the en- 

 gineers of the road located a line up Sun River Valley 

 through the Fort Shaw unit of the Sun River project, leav- 

 ing the railroad at Vaughn, Mont., and running to a point 

 where the river leaves the mountains. Their engineers lo- 

 cated passes and the most feasible route to carry this line 

 through to a connection with the present main line in the 

 vicinity of Columbia Falls. The construction of the line 

 through the valley will give transportation facilities to the 

 Fort Shaw unit and other parts of this project, and when- 

 ever the line is carried through the mountains it will un- 

 doubtedly place it on a portion of the trans-continental 

 line between Galveston and Seattle. On January IS, 1910, 

 maps were filed in the United States Land office at Great 

 Falls, for the purpose of securing right of way over the 

 government land effected by this location. The presi- 

 dent of the Great Northern Railroad Company states that 

 construction will begin as soon as the weather permits.

 pany Wichita, Kan., has the contract for construction of

 contractors expect to finish this work before June 1st. 



During the month of January water was furnished un- 

 der the Carlsbad project for irrigating winter oats and 

 orchards. Lake McMillan has been filling up constantly 

 but slowly, but the storage in Lake Avalon increased but 

 little owing to the fact that the irrigating water was 

 taken from it. The work of cleaning and repairing under 

 the Leasburg unit of the Rio Grande project was prac- 

 tically completed during January, so that water could be 

 delivered by the first of this month. The appraisers ap- 

 pointed by the court to examine the land required for
